Venus had covered her son (Aeneas) and his companion (Achates) with a cloud so that they could see out but no one could see them. They were on the African coast near Carthage. Men were working building a temple and Dido (the Queen) enters. One of Aeneas’ sailors spoke to the Queen asking for mercy and help so they could be on their way back to sea. She told them that they had her permission to do that or they could stay there on the coast with her. They told her that they had lost their captain (Aeneas) and were still looking for him. After Aeneas heard this, the cloud was removed from around him and he began to speak. He greeted the Queen and his fellow shipmates. They had a banquet at the royal house. | Venus had covered her son (Aeneas) and his companion (Achates) with a cloud so that they could see out but no one could see them.
